It actually started because I wanted a pair of Levi jeans and my mum told me I had to go and get a job, thankfully I ended up loving it and I’m still at it.

I had previously done some work experience at a salon in the city centre and loved it so when it came to picking my options at secondary school I decided to attend the training school they had there. I started doing my colour training with Ruth from Toni and Guy.

What’s your number one hair care tip?

I always section my hair and blow-dry it forward from the crown, I just think it gives more volume around the face and a neater hairline.

Best moment / greatest achievement in your career?

When I went down to London to collect my diploma, is given me so much more confidence in my skills.

Everywhere baby! Ha, I’d love to do more avant-garde hair, maybe behind the scenes at fashion shows or shoots.

And finally, any last words for everyone Soph?

Keep your hair beautiful baby!
